A writer´s life

The inner workings of a writer´s life, the interplay between experience and writing, are brilliantly recounted by a master of the art. Gay Talese now focuses on his own life -the zeal for the truth, the narrative edge, the sometimes startling precision, that won accolades for his journalism and best-sellerdom and acclaim for his revelatory books about The New York Times (The Kingdom and the Power), the Mafia (Honor Thy Father), the sex industry (Thy Neighbor´s Wife), and, focusing on his own family, the American immigrant experience (Unto the Sons).
